Paperartsy - Sewing Tag

Hi all, it's time for our new challenge over at That Craft Place Challenge Blog which is Stitching real or faux. Now as you know over at Paperartsy Blog they have weekly designers, but during August they are also having special guests and yesterday it was the amazing Liz Borer and she did an absolutely stunning Sewing themed creation which I have based this project on.  I wasn't sure what to do for the DT challenge and I was really in a Paperartsy zone that I didn't want to wonder away.  Then when Liz did her project I was so inspired I just had to have go, especially as I have most of the Paperartsy sewing stamps.  Liz won 2012 Craft Stamper Magazine competition last year, she doesn't have a blog, but if she did I would definitely be subscribing.  I was very lucky to meet her last year at Artsycrafts, I had gone on my own and she soon took me under her wing.  I will never forget as well, if it wasn't for her on the second day I would have been oozing all over my projects, as just before I went I burnt my finger badly on the hot glue gun, well by the second day it was oozing and I was struggling and she had some antibiotic cream and voila it started to heal.  I hope one day you get to meet her, she is truly fantastic lady :-)

All details of what I used are at the end of the post

plus how I coloured the fabric with

my Fresco paints :-)

I made the button out of clay, it was something

I had done awhile ago, I used the mould making from 

Ranger and used an old decorated metal button.

Then I painted it with Fresco snowflake.

Then a few months later voila lol, bit of very berry and

some treasure gold :-)

When I started stamping on the cream calico fabric it looked 

so flat, so I used Fresco very berry with lots and lots of water, I also

sprayed the fabric with water.  Now I love using my distress inks to get the

splodges using them with water on my craft mat.

I decided to have a go with Fresco, I semi dried the now pinky fabric,

then I added some more very berry on my mat, and used less

water, then I dipped another mat into it and then splattered this down

in areas.  I was really pleased with it.

I then decided it needed to be a bit lighter so I did it

again but with vintage lace (I need some more it's almost run out Noooooooo!!)

And this is the fabric dry, I really really like

the texture that the splodging made :-)

Right I shall be off, think I need to craft more lol.  Hope you have a fantastic Sunday :-)
